Friend,

Just picture it -- John Boehner with his jaw dropped to the
floor...the Koch brothers demanding answers...Mitch
McConnell nervously biting his nails...all because they've
just received word that the environmental movement has
joined together to raise $250,000 in a single day. No, it's
not a dream -- it's a GreenStorm!

Corporate polluters like the Koch brothers have been pouring
money into the 2014 elections, attacking our climate
champions with outrageous lies and fear-tactics on crucial
issues like the EPA's Clean Power Plan and Keystone XL.
They're hoping they can buy this election so polluters can
keep polluting. If they have their way we'll continue to
suffer from carbon pollution that fuels climate change,
threatens communities, cuts too many lives short and drives
extreme weather. .

But now we've got a storm of our own.

Today, September 17th, we're joining forces with
organizations and grassroots supporters like you across the
country for a GreenStorm to support candidates in the Senate
who will fight for, not against, our health and environment.
Are you in?

Donate today and help raise $250,000 to protect our firewall
in the Senate:

Raising this amount of cash in a single day is an ambitious
goal, we know. But the cold hard truth is that we MUST
protect our allies in the Senate if we're going to continue
to see forward progress on climate change. Your much-needed
donations can make the difference in close, midterm
elections and help these environmental champions emerge
victorious on Election Day.

Here are the four GreenStorm candidates you can support
through GiveGreen, the nation's only online site dedicated
to supporting environmental champions:

* Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire: Since her election to the
Senate in 2008, Senator Jeanne Shaheen has fought for
bipartisan ways to transition from dirty and dangerous
fossil fuel technology to clean, renewable energy. But Big
Oil crony and notorious carpetbagger Scott Brown is trying
to block her at every step. 

* Mark Udall, Colorado: Senator Mark Udall has worked
tirelessly to protect Colorado's environment, earning him an
impressive 97% lifetime score on LCV's National
Environmental Scorecard. He's in a tight race with Tea Party
darling and Big Oil ally Cory Gardner, who has a lifetime
score of just 9%. Don't let one of our strongest defenders
be replaced by a pro-polluter puppet.

* Bruce Braley, Iowa: Bruce Braley is committed to working
with the EPA to kick our addiction to fossil fuels. But his
opponent, State Senator Joni Ernst, has not only directly
said she wants to abolish the EPA, but she was also endorsed
by Sarah Palin for her extreme views. Is this the kind of
Senator we want representing our heartland? We think not.

* Gary Peters, Michigan: Gary Peters fought for Michigan's
small businesses and families when he took on the Koch
brothers and forced them to take their toxic oil byproducts
away from the Detroit River -- but they're striking back by
running millions in slash and burn attack ads. Help keep the
Koch brothers in check.

These candidates are among the strongest climate leaders we
have, and are instrumental to taking on Big Oil and fighting
for a better environment for our future. But each of them is
being attacked by pro-polluter ads and money. That's why we
need your support today.

Donate today to join in the environmental movement's
first-ever GreenStorm and send the message that we will
fight for the candidates who protect our health and climate:

Our opponents have millions of dollars to spend on attack
ads, but we have the power of grassroots activists just like
you. We don't need to out-spend the Koch brothers, but we do
need to ensure that the pro-environment candidates standing
with us have enough resources to get out their winning
messages. The election is in our hands, and if our
GreenStorm is strong enough, the polluters won't know what
hit them.

Sincerely,

Amanda McTyre
